David Paulino's Posts Back-To-Back Strong Starts

Jun. 23, 2017

More from

David Paulino allowed three runs in 5 1/3 inning pitches in the Astros 12-9 win on Thursday. With Lance McCullers expected to return this weekend and top prospect Francis Martes now up with the team, Paulion may soon be the odd man out in the rotation. Paulino has won his last two starts but may be more valuable to the team in the bullpen. He has 26 strikeouts in 25 innings this season but his ERA still is hovering over five at 5.04. Paulino's imminent future appears to be destined for the bullpen and will lose fantasy value once McCullers returns.

David Paulino To Make Second Spot Start

Jun. 6, 2017

More from

Houston Astros starting pitcher David Paulino will take the mound and make his second start of the season for the Astros on Tuesday. Paulino is pitching in place of starter Joe Musgrove, who has been on the disabled list with a shoulder injury. In his May 31 start against the Twins, Paulino threw 89 pitches and struck out eight batters in four innings. While the strikeout totals are impressive, Paulino could be restricted by the pitch count again Tuesday against the Royals. Paulino should be viewed as a stop-gap option for Houston right now in their starting rotation.

Joe Musgrove Will Not Start On Tuesday, David Paulino Gets The Nod

Jun. 5, 2017

More from

Houston Astros starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (shoulder) played catch today for the first time since going on the disabled list Monday but will not be able to pitch tomorrow against the Royals. Musgrove's new goal is to throw a bullpen on Thursday and hopefully will be able to make his next start. Pitcher David Paulino will start against Kansas City tomorrow, and he had eight strikeouts in four innings against the Twins on May 31. This season, Musgrove is 4-4 with a 4.89 ERA in 10 starts, posting 43 strikeouts in 53 1/3 innings. His best start of the season was seven shutout innings against the Orioles on May 26, right before going on the DL, and that promise makes him a decent streaming option.

David Paulino Strikes Out Eight In First Start

May. 31, 2017

More from

Houston Astros starting pitcher David Paulino pitched four innings, striking out eight and allowing two runs in his first start of the season Wednesday. Paulino was called up after the Astros placed pitcher Joe Musgrove on the disabled list with shoulder discomfort. Paulino is regarded as one of the top prospects in Houston's farm system and should receive another start if Musgrove isn't ready to return. The Astros also have starters Collin McHugh and Charlie Morton on the DL, so there will be space to give Paulino more opportunities. Paulino was 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in three starts at Triple-A.

David Paulino Shaky in Major League Debut, Avoid Again Next Outing

Sep. 9, 2016

More from

David Paulino made his first major league start yesterday, and the results were about what you would expect. Against one of the top offenses in the league, Paulino lasted only three innings allowing four earned runs off of four hits, walking two and striking out one. He threw 70 pitches through those three innings while averaging 91 mph on his fastball, topping out at 93 mph. He threw a curveball that was ruled a wild pitch (whether or not it was actually is up for debate), allowing two runs to score. If Paulino gets another start it will be against Texas, making him unplayable for a second straight start.

David Paulino Making First Career Start, Avoid Today, Look at in Future

Sep. 8, 2016

More from

David Paulino will be making his first career start today, unfortunately it will be against the high powered Cleveland Indians. Paulino is a recommended sit for this outing, but he is someone to look at if he sticks in the rotation. At 6’7”, 217 lbs., Paulino is a beast. Across 90 innings over three levels this season, he has struck out 106 hitters and walked only 19. He throws a curveball, a changeup, and a fastball that hits 94 mph consistently. He has said his body feels great, and manager A.J. Hinch said he will not be on a pitch count. Paulino has streamer value moving forward.

Astros Calling Up Pitching Prospect David Paulino

Sep. 6, 2016

More from

In the wake of
Dallas Keuchel’s shoulder inflammation injury, the Astros have called up pitching prospect
David Paulino to help fill the void. The 6-foot-7, 215 lbs. right-hander has made only three starts in Triple-A this season, but has looked good posting a 3.86 ERA, 3.08 FIP, and a 12.86 K/9 rate. While is role at the moment is unclear, it seems unlikely he would get the call up if it wasn’t to be a starter. Paulino could provide some value as a spot-starter down the stretch for fantasy purposes.
